Topic: Desperately trying to find the name of a movie

Anonymous A started this discussion 15 years ago #2,857

I have only vague details.

There was a billboard for this movie last year, and I kept meaning to see it. All I can remember however, is that the cover of the DVD/billboard picture was close up of a mild-mannered looking man wearing glasses. The title had "gentleman" or just man in it, and "dinner" I think. Or else it might have taken the form A *something* man. The guy looked like George Carlin when he was really young, but with glasses. And it was not a particularly popular movie.

I know it is vague, but it is worth a try!

The only thing that comes to mind is "Dinner for Schmucks".

Do you remember any dates? What month you saw it in?

I never even SAW it! It was last year, the second half of the year. It was probably around summer but it may have been later.

I have seen that, it is not that. Good movie though.

I mean when you saw the billboard. Doe you remember if it was theatrical release or dVD?

The Extra Man is the only film released around summer which follows the "The * Man" format.

Haven't seen it myself, but it's got a lot of positive reviews, so probably!

I really liked A Single Man, but I'd only recommend it to people who appreciate the more visual aspects of filmmaking. It's beautifully shot.
